I think there is definitely merit to your statements. I believe the future of the average software developer job involves a very high level language, API integration, basic full stack work with a lot of AI assistance. And those roles will mostly be at small to medium businesses who can't afford the salaries or benefits that the industry has standard in the US.
Almost every small business I know has an accountant or book keeper position which is just someone who had no formal education and the role is just managing QuickBooks. I don't think the need for formally educated accountants who can handle large corporate books decreased significantly, but I don't have any numbers to back that up. Just making the comparison to say I don't think the hard / cool stuff that a lot of software developers love doing is going away. But these are just my thoughts.
